I took the brass fittings off the hot water heater I was scrapping ... fine. I also removed the outer shell and removed and disposed of the insulation. That was dumb.
My yard would have paid me 7.25 cents per lb for the hot water heater fully assembled. By removing the outer casing and insulation and making it a clean piece I got 7.75 cents per lb. Extra 1/2 a cent on approx 100 lbs is only 50 cents. Bad move on my part! Wasn't worth the extra effort.

Scrap yards remember and take note of the sellers who bring them good, clean scrap. You may think it was a waste of time to clean it, but if you continue to bring in clean scrap, your prices will go up.
